“I have now had an iPad 2 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1. I would choose the Samsung every time“
Blimey.
I come from the position of generally hating Apple stuff, and of loving Android (Froyo/Gingerbread) on my phones, and…
I bought an iPad, which was nice enough but eventually I got frustrated by the shoddy iOS5 app store and the usual Apple things like not talking to very much via Bluetooth and generally just being a bit Appley about everything.
So I sold it and bought a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
And whilst it was nice to be able to install different keyboards and tweak all sorts of things, it was the biggest pile of toilet I’d bought in ages. A horrid thing to use, worse in every way than the iPad. I’d expected that, but only to a marginal degree — but it had appallingly bad lag between touching the screen and it registering, which made everything infuriating and some things entirely unusable. Plus I could list a whole bunch of ways in which the ICS usability sucked (not helped by a couple of Samsung’s ‘enhancements’) and is worse than 2.*.
So I sent it back and bought an iPad again.
A TF300 would be an interesting proposition, almost solely from the point of view of using AIDE, but as a general tabletty sort of a tablet I’ve not seen anything come even close to the iPad.
